How to collect difficult waste streams

background

Our lifestyle increasingly requires us to collect "difficult" waste fractions, such as textiles, used cooking oil and small WEEE. Providing adequate tools for a quality collection is more necessary today than ever.

RE-POINTs are an attractive solution, ideal for high-traffic areas, outdoors or indoors, which increase awareness of the collection of these difficult waste streams. They furnish with decorum and functionality and allow a controlled waste disposal. Widely customizable, they are also available in the version with access control.

Micro WEEE: lack of awareness among consumers

Micro WEEE: lack of awareness among consumers

Small WEEE from households represents the fastest growing category of waste globally. We are daily dependent on technological products, which we get rid of quickly, mainly due to the lack of awareness of the importance of a correct disposal.

The collection of micro WEEE (small household appliances, mobile phones, electronic cigarettes...) must be brought closer to citizens by offering them new methods of disposal.

Textile waste: the consequences of “fast fashion”

Textile waste: the consequences of “fast fashion”

All EU states will have to make the separate collection of used clothing mandatory by 2025. Up to 2.1 million tonnes of textile products are collected separately in the EU every year, equivalent to around 38% of those placed on the EU market.

An enormity, but there are still too few items of clothing that, thanks to "fast fashion", are not recovered. Implementing dedicated collection containers close to shops and points of sale represents a reversal of the trend in the poor habit of recycling.

UCO (used cooking oil): waste cooking oil still too much dispersed into the environment

The quantity of uncollected cooking oil that is spilled into the environment with considerable damage to the planet and its ecosystem still remains high. Intercepting used cooking oils remains a highly topical issue. The key component necessary to achieve good results is the quality of the collected material, which can be guaranteed in total safety with proximity collection points.
